I uploaded these pictures before but I am just enjoying this car so much that I need to share again.And few tips as well.
sigma 10-20mm
studio strobes as many as you can get(it's never too many)
Off camera flash
reflector
Dark spot away from street lights with working plug for your lights
or portable battery for them( I always shoot in the dark ..that way I am in total control of the light)
Camera set between f14-18 at iso 100
tripod (if you don't have enough lights you might need to stack couple of images )
feel free to ask for some more

i still can't get over how good these photos look.. your car looks like liquid

Tips: Don't hesitate to use external flash unit under bright sunny day. You can use the flash to light on the subject's highly shadowed area that is directly against the sunlight, to give the subject an overall good exposure.

Camera 7D
Canon 17-55mm 2.8 IS
ISO 100-400
f5-f8
Aperture Priority or Manual(I'm giving ranges because I'm away from the computer with the originals so don't have the exact specs, but these are the ranges I stick with for similar shots almost always)

The last 2 photos are tone mapped hdrs using 3 exposures (bracketed +-2ev), and used qtpfsgui, and balanced using gimp and rawtherapee. Looking back, I feel they're a bit too over processed for my tastes right now. The top two on the other hand were done in either Rawtherapee or Lightroom.

This thread is making me wanting to do a proper photoshoot... it's been too long.

on this one I wanted the slowest shutter speed that would let me hand hold the camera and still get a crisp clear picture (to try and maximize the motion blur). 1/60 was the lowest I could go, so I adjusted the aperture accordingly.

that is the info from one of the pictures, it is actually a 3 Exposure HDR image. It is almost impossible to use natural lighting and get a good exposure on my black rims as well as the rest of the car without using multiple exposures. I pretty much always shoot 3 bracket photos. Sometimes I will use HDR, sometimes I just use one of the three shots but then I have a few different lighting variations to pick from!

You should be able to go down to 1/focal length shutter speed (1/20) on f/2.8
